How did this help me to complete my goal?

My goal was to read aloud more clearly. When I heard we were doing Fotobabbles I knew it was a good chance to complete my goal and I did.

How effective was this learning tool?

At first I had some trouble recording with the micophone because I was using computers with out sound. Eventually I figured this out and fixed it. When I did get to record I had some issues speaking into the micophone. I learnt to record on a microphone the computer needs to have sound.
(I'm sorry if you are looking for my Fotobabble on the ipad because it uses flash)

This activity was great fun.

"You are fire and you will blaze through the forest. But beware! Even the most powerful flames can be destroyed by water'

This is an epic super edition to the warrior series. Bluestar leader of the Thunderclan has a prophecy about her fortelling that she will guide her clan through great turmoil. But a warrior lurks in the shadows with a dark ambition : to lead the Thunderclan. If he does,Thunderclan will drown in blood. She and only she can stand in his way. But can she stop him ??????????


I love this book because you feel as if you are there watching what is happening through the character's eyes. You put yourself in Bluestar's shoes feeling her pain, grief, love and happiness and it makes you feel as if you are that character.

Reflection

I learnt alot about reading and Bluestar in this book. I learnt how to look into a character's mind. I found

that I could understand how she was feeling and why she did what she did and why she made painful choices.

I really enjoyed this activity.

I have put 'Bluestar's Prophecy' back on my book shelf and have started a book called

'The Ivory Rose'

Reflection

What did you enjoy most about this task?

The thing that I enjoyed most about this task was being able to put slides, sounds and pictures on the slides how you wanted it and you could use your imagination to make the movie flow smoothly.

What was your biggest challenge?

The biggest challenge was finding copy-right free images that were free to use. Once we forgot to search free-to-use pictures while searching. When we went back to the same website remembering about the free-to-use check and it wasn't there so we couldn't use it.


What skills did you learn during this task?

To do the bibliography while we searched for images, music and information because we wasted time going back and finding the pictures on the website for the bibliography.
